The International Training Program on Utility Regulation and Strategy, scheduled each January and June in Gainesville, is a collaboration between PURC and The World Bank.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) is an official promoter of the PURC/World Bank International Training Program on Utility Regulation and Strategy.

The program is an intensive, two-week course designed to enhance the economic, technical, and policy skills required to design and manage sustainable regulatory systems for infrastructure sectors. During the two weeks, more than 50 sessions include case studies, practical exercises, and panel discussions with leading experts and international faculty.

PURC training is part of a package of programs that support the creation and training of infrastructure regulators. The World Bank, through the Private Provision of Public Services group, provided seed money to PURC in 1996 and continues to collaborate by providing speakers and marketing assistance.

The World Bank Award

The World Bank presented a Certificate of Recognition to PURC during the 13th International Training Program on Utility Regulation and Strategy for "outstanding support and partnership provided to Supporting Infrastructure Regulators Team for the year 2002."

Each year, the president of The World Bank recognizes two or three groups within the Bank with an "Award for Excellence." The projects associated with the award are typically Bank-lending operations that pioneer some new methods of accomplishing program goals. In 2003, The World Bank included a set of rather non-traditional projects, initiatives that include the PURC/World Bank International Training Program, which has been presented twice yearly in Gainesville since 1997.
